An interesting piece on the future of film making that is irrevocably linked to photography, especially documentary photography and its raison d'être of ‘being there’.

“The gap is definitely closing,” Gerstenberger says, adding, “The quality’s there, and it becomes much more about the story that’s being told and the knowledge and experience of the filmmaker and the team, rather than the camera or the tool.” In other words, we’ll know that smartphone films have reached their most mature form when they aren’t a story at all.

I found these forgotten images of allotment 'sculptures' on an old hard drive. I remember photographing these landscapes on really hot summers day in London. I was inspired by the random yet cohesive nature of these found arrangements of allotment stuff, which had at their core a very British sensibility and acted as surrogate portraits of the people working at each allotment.
